Fitocracy Workout Fitness Log

★★★★★ Really like being able to track PRs and workouts digitally. The share function doesn't seem to show the workout I completed, only a link to the application. I'd like to be able to share my workout routine and the fitocracy application that helps me track the exercises.

★★★★★ Love Fitocracy in general. As a video game/rpg geek, leveling up has a special place in my heart. My only problem with it is that when logging bodyweight exercises with additional weight (specifically pull ups, chin ups, and dips), rather than adding the weight, the app freezes and crashes. Every time. So I just have to remember and then put it in on my computer when I'm done. A bit irritating, but other than that I'm a big fan.

★★☆☆☆ Would be handy except that sometimes it's write-only. Doesn't sync properly with exercise programs I enter on other devices, sometimes creates duplicate "workouts", gives no hints when an "advanced" variant can't be found, and often refuses to rename a "workout" or routine once it exists which makes finding recently-used programs frustrating. My user stories are pretty simple, I think: - I want to see what exercises I did last time I worked on even if that was a week ago, so that I can perform the same workout consistently week-to-week. - I want to plan my workout the night before I do it, so that in the morning when I go in to the gym I can record my weight and reps without searching or performing extra data entry steps. (Perhaps these are in conflict with other desired workflows, or are too narrow in purpose to support directly. It feels like workout-copying is supposed to accomplish the first thing, but a handful of loosely-related bugs make it fall short. The second might conflict with an implicit goal of not letting people cheat or forget to exercise, though I would think the app's ability to store workouts locally without submitting would have already accomplished this.) Since the mobile app doesn't sync with what I enter in my PC browser *and* can't scroll back more than a week through history, the only way I can take my PRs and goals with me into the gym is if I record everything in my pocket notebook. I can then copy that into the Fitocracy web app which is mostly usable -- but at that point I kind of struggle to understand why I bother. In any case, the current state of the app doesn't really work for me.

★★☆☆☆ I dont get it, so when are you going to update this app, hmm? It's been years. Come on.

★★☆☆☆ No synch with any other app, hasn't been updated since 2015.
